Ding Dong Disko bids farewell with a final series of events
Before closing, the Jakarta venue is set to host Javabass Soundsystem's Phunktion night headlined by Degs plus Space Trip with Jasper James
After nearly six years in Jakarta’s nightlife scene, Ding Dong Disko is closing its doors at the end of February.
Located in A3000 Creative Compound, the venue has been a hub for both underground and mainstream music, making it a staple in the city’s nightlife circuit.
Several international names who have previously graced the space include Central, Sunju Hargun, Matisa, Manfredas, Ivan Smagghe, and Budino.
As part of the 3000 Group’s evolution, Ding Dong Disko is hosting a month-long farewell celebration this month, featuring a line-up that honours its legacy and sets the stage for what’s next.
The events kick off on February 7 with Phunktion, Indonesia’s longest-running drum’n’bass night by Javabass Soundsystem, headlined by the UK’s Degs. The energy continues on February 8 with their Off the Record night, featuring MAAD, Droopy, Los Chicos, and Kraus.
February 13 sees Girls Don’t Dry spotlighting female-driven sounds with Pak Kardiman, Shafa, Trisa, and Nasha, leading up to the highlight event: Space Trip on February 1.

From 2019 to 2025, Ding Dong Disko has played a key role in Jakarta’s scene, not only by hosting both local and international acts but also by fostering a diverse community of music enthusiasts from a wide range of genres.
Meanwhile, the 3000 Group has been instrumental in shaping the city’s clubbing culture, launching A3000 Creative Compound as a hub for community-based events and creative collaborations, such as Asia KolektifA.
